Massey

Al final las charlas sobre budismo con Rafa, o sobre taismo con Chan y el post estructuralismo parecen estan cada vez mas cerca. Aunque es bastante intuitiva, me gustó esta cita, de Massey en For Space del 2005.All the essences become events"; place as "Real as Nature, narrated as Discourse, collective as society, existential as Being (Latour 1993 :82,92). And space and time, together, the outcome of this multiple becoming. Then "here" is no more (and no less) than our encounter, and what is made of it. It is irretrivably, here and now. It won't be the same "here" when it is no longer now." (2005:139)
The elements of this place will be at different times and speeds, again dispersed.
(And yet, in its temporary constellation we (must) make something of it. This is the event if place in part in the simple sense of the coming together of the previously unrelates, a constellation of processes rather than a thing. This is place as open and internally multiple." (141)

En todo esto sigue colgando la internalidad / externalidad problema que me preocupa un poco aunque es otra de las dicotomias falsas en las que te quedas pedalenado una bici sin cadena.

(Por ahi habría que citar mas las charlas con amigxs. "uno aprende de las relaciones" sintetizo el dia de año nuevo alguien que conocimos por casualidad -y esto es bastante evidente tambien-).
